Recipe
Heat oil in a 4- or 6-quart Presto pressure cooker. Brown chicken a few pieces at a time; set aside. Return all chicken to pressure cooker; add celery and green pepper. Combine pineapple juice, brown sugar, vinegar, soy sauce, catsup, Worcestershire sauce, and ginger; pour over chicken. Close pressure cooker cover securely. Place pressure regulator on vent pipe. Cook for 8 minutes, at 15 pounds pressure, with regulator rocking slowly. Cool pressure cooker at once. Remove chicken and vegetables to a warm platter. Mix cornstarch with cold water; blend into hot liquid. Cook and stir until mixture boils and thickens. Add pineapple chunks and heat. Pour sauce over chicken. Serve with rice. Makes 4 to 6 servings.
STEAMED RICE:
1 cup long grain white rice
1 1/2 cups water
1 cup water
Combine rice and 1 1/2 cups water in metal bowl. (Use a 5-cup capacity bowl, 3 inches high or less, which will fit loosely into a 4- or 6-quart Presto pressure cooker.) Place 1 cup water, cooking rack or steamer basket, and bowl in pressure cooker. Close pressure cooker cover securely. Place pressure regulator on vent pipe. Cook 5 minutes, at 15 pounds pressure, with pressure regulator rocking slowly. Let pressure drop of its own accord. Open pressure cooker and allow rice to steam, uncovered, 5 minutes. Makes 4 to 6 servings.
